The P-6000 Names the Two Pegasus Models It Was Built From, and the Outsole Goes Fully Pink

Nike has spent this week selling the early 2000s in three different shoes, and only one of them says so on the label. The P-6000 in White, Metallic Silver, Camo Green and Pink Foam went up October 23 in women’s sizing, and the pitch is sitting in Nike’s own benefits list. Two Pegasus models, named. The other thing worth knowing about this pair is on the bottom of it.

The P-6000 has never been a running shoe and Nike has never claimed it was. The product description calls it a mashup of Pegasus sneakers past, and the benefits list names the donors outright, the Nike Pegasus 25 and the Nike Pegasus 2006. That is unusual. Most retro-adjacent silhouettes in Nike’s line gesture at an era and leave the archaeology to the internet, and this one hands over the parts list. What comes out of it is a shoe with the proportions of a mid-2000s trainer, a layered overlay package across the midfoot, a wide platform and a foam midsole Nike describes as a lifted, track-inspired stance rather than as cushioning with a name attached. The CORDURA build this site covered was the P-6000 at its most technical, a shoe wearing its materials on the outside. This one goes the opposite direction and spends everything on color. Nike lists the construction plainly, a textile upper with genuine and synthetic leather overlays, a foam midsole and a rubber outsole. Three lines. No foam name, no Air, no plate and no stack height, which for a Nike running-derived shoe is close to a statement in itself.

The upper is white mesh under metallic silver overlays in a pebbled synthetic leather, which is the makeup the P-6000 is best known for and a fair part of the reason the model is still here. What is different is everything attached to it. The Swoosh is Pink Foam with a dark outline. The collar lining, the laces, the heel counter and the wedge under the heel are all Camo Green, a deep olive that reads almost black from any distance. And the outsole is pink. Not a pink accent and not a pink edge, the entire tread is Pink Foam with one dark olive spine running up the middle of it. P-6000 is printed in pale pink across the metallic heel panel, small enough to miss. The footbeds are pink as well, framed by the olive lining, which is the only place the two loudest colors in the shoe sit next to each other where the person wearing it can see them.

Nike’s colorway strings have been a running argument on this site, and this one is honest. White, Metallic Silver, Camo Green and Pink Foam are all four present, all four doing work, and none of them is hiding. That has not been the week Nike has been having. The Vomero Plus and the Pegasus Premium that went up the day before both carry the same line about suede details nodding to early 2000s running shoes, and neither one names a shoe. The P-6000 names two. The difference is that those two are performance platforms borrowing a look, and the P-6000 is a look with no performance claim to protect, so it can afford to show its work. Whether that makes it the more honest shoe or simply the one with the least to lose is a fair question, and the answer depends on what a parts list is worth to the person reading it.

At $115 the P-6000 is the cheapest of the three by a distance. The Vomero Plus is $180 and the Pegasus Premium is $220, so a buyer can take all of the early 2000s styling and none of the foam for roughly half the money. Measured against the P-6000’s own history this is the standard number rather than a bargain. The CORDURA build carried $125, and the extra ten dollars there bought a technical fabric rather than a better shoe. Resale on this model has never been a factor, which is most of its appeal. Nothing in this makeup costs Nike anything extra either, which is a fair part of why the color is allowed to be this loud.

The Nike P-6000 in White, Metallic Silver, Camo Green and Pink Foam, style code JA1009-100, carries a commerce date of October 23, 2026 in Nike’s product feed and is available now in women’s sizing. Retail is $115, listed in stock at full price with no discount applied, and pairs are at Nike.com, filed under Lifestyle. That is the one label in this week’s three running-derived Nike shoes that nobody is going to argue with. Only the women’s style code appears in Nike’s feed for this colorway.
